My comment is not regarding this pump, but the issue that women will stop
breastfeeding because of the cost of a pump and think nothing of
purchasing formula which costs oodles more than a pump.  A good manual
pump can be purchased for approx. US$40.  That's about 1/2 a week of
formula!  Are we not remiss in pointing this out?
